Team

Jenny

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Jenny has been stitching and creating since the age of five. With a lifelong love of embroidery, quilting, and exploring art through textiles, she brings both skill and passion to every project. Her greatest joy comes from sharing these traditions—teaching people of all ages how to sew, mend, and express themselves through fabric. When she’s not at her sewing machine or dreaming up new creative kits, she loves spending time with her daughter and their cats, who are always her favorite studio companions.
